Introduction Our arrangements for pre-release access to Official Statistics are described in a Pre-Release Access Statement¹.

This document supplements the statement by giving the names and/or job titles of all those persons to whom pre-release access has been granted to Timber Price Indices, as follows:

- Part 1 provides a list of those receiving pre-release access to the Official Statistics in their final form for briefing purposes. As this is a release covering Great Britain, the pre-release access period is limited to 24 hours.
- Part 2 provides a list of those receiving pre-release access for quality assurance purposes.

The justification for giving advance access to each listed recipient will be available on request.
